jacketspuds Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 How would our board know that AM would quit? What have we been doing for the last 2 weeks? I find it impossible to believe that we will hire McLeish as manager given how much of a risk it would be. We have just come off the back of a very difficult season under GH and the last thing we should do is hire a manager who is not backed by the majority of fans. Let's hope this is all a smokescreen.

TrentVilla Posted June 13, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 13, 2011 Here's a question: If AMcL gets the job and you're one of the (seemingly) thousands who swear they'll never spend a pound at the club until he's gone, will you be in the queue for tickets if he gets us to Wembley? Be honest... No they won't as they will have no ticket history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well if this is the case I am done with RL and his board. Sorry but Doug would never go after a blues manager. Don't care what he has or hasn't done for AVFC this is a joke. AM isn't even a great manager. Pretty much the same record as MON, and hundreds went ti VP to greet him. I am not here to promote Alex McLeish, but I am sure that a discussion will take place, and I am damn sure that he would do a lot better than many of the names bandied about as 'desirable'. It is also worthwhile pointing out that he has been the most cautiously respectful Blues manager towards the city rivalry in recent memory. Now if they were talking to Steve Bruce, I would be up in arms, but McLeish is okay. He's won a lot more than Moyes as well :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The thought of Randy appointing McLeish would be the biggist **** you to fans I can remember in football. He just wouldn't do it at all so all this AM talk is nonsense. I'd stop watching football if he was appointed. Won't happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be honest...No quite simply, get the blues to wembley and look what happened to them. If we appointed him i cant see myself even following villa id be genuinely disgusted by it. Ill always be a villa fan but i couldnt follow the club whilst it was managed by mcleish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 SSN are such a bunch of fuckwits. So we have made an enquiry for AM and they want £5m for him. **** that. BBC WM are running with this story as if it's gospel. Will be mortified if this man is given the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyPanther Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I don't understand why the media focus is on the ex-blues connection. My sole concern is that he's a terrible, terrible manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaRoy Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ben Smith from The Times Have seen the email #AVFC sent to #BCFC. Explosive stuff from both sides but what is clear is Villa want McLeish. I'm feeling sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
